Youth & Family Programs

design camp kids at home and studio draft room

Check back soon for 2025 programs.

Enjoy a look back at Summer Design Camps 2024.

Campers listen to a short lecture about adaptive reuse outside of the garage- turned-giftshop at the Home and Studio. On a neighborhood walking tour, campers turn their attention to the Nathan Moore House and learn about the building’s restoration history. 6th-8th graders work on a wire cutting activity led by a guest speaker. Two campers wear safety goggles and cut copper wires as preservationist Doug Freerksen leads a workshop. This year, campers created models based off the floor plan for the AD German Warehouse. One camper’s model, featured here, repurposed the space into a community library. A close-up view of a camper's parking garage, while another camper measures his model's walls in the background. A camper shows off one of the details from his model. He turned the floorplan into an arcade and created a small arcade machine to go inside. Two campers excitedly attempt to create a miniature version of the Home and Studio’s playroom inside a water bottle. A miniature version of the Home and Studio’s playroom made by campers during a building activity. 3rd – 5th grade campers listen as preservationist Doug Freerksen explains the craftmanship used to create the Drafting Room’s chains. Campers examine a 1909 sketch with preservationist Doug Freerksen and carpenter Kady Creager to uncover a section of the original Home and Studio fence hidden within today’s wall. A view from the Drafting Room balcony shows the model-building process in full swing as campers craft and collaborate. This close-up look of a model shows how one camper adapted the AD German Warehouse into an indoor soccer field. 3rd – 5th grade campers stand proudly by their models during the Friday Showcase, where friends and family view their camper’s hard work.
